Power outage after accident: driver crashes into distribution box!
There was a massive power outage in Offenbach on Friday afternoon, February 21, 2025, after a 61-year-old driver crashed her Hyundai into a distribution box. The incident happened shortly before 2 p.m. on Humperdinckstrasse. Although the woman was fortunately uninjured, the damage to property is estimated at several thousand euros, while her vehicle had to be towed away. The exact reasons for the accident are still unclear fireworld.at reported.
As a result of the collision, there was not only a power outage, but also disruptions to the Internet, telephony, traffic lights and street lighting in the Lauterborn district. Although it was originally feared that the power outage could severely affect several households, it turned out that only a few households were without power. Several energy supply employees were on site to resolve the problems as quickly as possible, a police spokesman said tagesschau.de.
Nevertheless, the impact on internet and telephone connections was noticeable and caused unrest in the affected area. While police and city utilities worked hard to resolve the disruption, the exact circumstances of the accident remain under investigation.
